In individual insects of some species, whole chromosomes that carry larval genes are eliminated from the genomes of somatic cells at the time of metamorphosis. A consequence of this occurrence is that

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. we could not clone a larva from the somatic cells of such an adult insect.
  2. such species must reproduce only asexually.
  3. the descendents of these adults do not include a larval stage.
  4. metamorphosis can no longer occur among the descendents of such adults.
